Touchpad not seen as Synaptics

I have a Dell Latitude E6410, and I want to be able to configure my touchpad a bit, mainly by disabling tapping while typing. I have read that this should be possible with syndaemon, but when I run syndaemon, it returns "Unable to find a synaptics device."
When I run "xinput list":
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ PS/2 Generic Mouse id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
The Wiki mentions a few fixes, but they don't seem to apply - for example, one possibility was that the module was loaded twice - but the Xorg.0.log looked fine, and the fix they recommended was already in my 10-synaptics.conf anyway.
So it seems to be recognizing the touchpad as a regular mouse, not as a touchpad. How do I fix that?
What more information is needed?

Could you please post the ouput of cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep PNP?

Touchpad not working archlinux_64 Bit KDE

Hi,
I just installed xf86-input-synaptics. I want to use my external USB mouse, which functions properly and the touchpad. The problem is that the touchpad only works during Login process (login manager) but not on the Desktop (KDE). Xorg.0.log shows that Synaptics was loaded successfully. The touchpad is recognized as Synaptics PS/2 which is also correct. synclient gives a normal output (touchpad settings and values), so what's the problem?
Greetings

Seems like something is overwriting the synaptiks setting so the touchpad gets disabled after KDE starts... or maybe X is disabling the touchpad and doesn't recognize the synaptiks settings..

Ipod not seen by windows or itunes

Hello, I'm totally frustrated and have been searching for hours. Please someone help.
- Nano 8 gb
- Windows xp
Neither Windows (my computer) nor Itunes sees my ipod. Ipod is working fine: did the menu/select thing, cable is good.
When I plug the ipod in the usb port I hear a bleep and I get a message bottom right "new hardware found ipod"and the icon is a usb cable. Ipod is not in My computer window. Ipod is not seen by Itunes
Tried Device Manager/I see Ipod with a ? Yellow. If i right click on it and do update driver the ms computer management system crashes and sends error report.
I tried dowloading the USB driver and placing it in the directory, but I got stuck because there is no windows/inf directory. I tried to update the usb driver with the same ms crash.
I'm completely frustrated, please can someone help me.

I was having the same problem the other day. I'm not sure what it was but I think it has something to do with the i tunes and i pod 1.2 update.
What I did was:
1. Uninstall i tunes
2. Restart my computer
3. pluged my ipod in a slow usb line
4. waited until my pc recognized it in there. It took a little while.
5. re installed i tunes from apple.com
6. waited until i tunes recognized my ipod
7. updated my i pod with my library it took a long time because i was in the slow usb plug.
8. re plugged my ipod into a 2.0 usb line
9. i tunes recognized it.
10. I then updated my ipod to the new 1.2 version
11. The problem started happening again
12 I repeated what I did before and now it is working.
It was very frustrating! I hope it works for you.1

5th Gen IPOD - Won't Sync and Not Seen by Windows

Help!!!
Tried the 5 R's. I have the IPOD in Disk Mode but whilst it will happily charge, it still is not seen by ITunes or Windows Explorer (though is visible inDisk Defragmenter). I have already un-installed and re-installed ITunes etc.
Prior to putting it into Disk Mode the IPOD still had my library on it and owuld happily work.

Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:
iPod missing in My Computer and in iTunes
iPod is not recognized properly by computer when USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date
If you are using a laptop, this page might help: iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB

IPod touch: Seen by XP, not seen on OSX.

Strange one.
1st Gen ipod Touch with latest software(think its 3.3), latest version of itunes.
Its seen and works perfect with Windows XP.
I plug it into my Mac Book Pro, running Lion and its not seen. nothing happens wihen i plug it in.
I have reset, restored and wiped the ipod from the device itself and its still not seen.
I also tried it on a Win 7 machine and its NOT seen either.
Is this something crazy to do with 32bit architecture. Its seen on Win XP which is 32 but not by 64bit Lion and Win 7.
Any suggestions?

MSI GS70 20D Touchpad not working after login when I upgraded to 8.1

Short situation: I upgraded my laptop to windows 8.1, and the touchpad stopped working on the start/desktop screens. I could move it before I logged in, and after it would work for a few seconds, but then it would just stop. An external mouse works just fine, but I still don't want my touchpad not working.
I looked on the MSI USA technical support page, and it said to delete the old drivers for the touchpad and download new ones. I deleted the drives, but every time I try to download the new ones, I get a window that says my touchpad isn't plugged in, and that the drive isn't compatible with my touchpad, which doesn't make sense to me because I looked up my product specifically and tried all three touchpad drivers. None of them worked.
Now I can't use the touchpad at all because I deleted the drivers, so it would seem that the computer doesn't know it has a touchpad because it won't register the touchpad in my devices tab.
Does anyone know what I can do to solve this? Or to at least get the touchpad to register again? I just got this computer for Christmas, I've treated it very well so it hasn't banged up against anything or been dropped or mistreated, so I cannot understand why this is happening. It worked before the 8.1 update, so I'm pretty sure the issue has something to do with that.

UPDATE: So I managed to fix the touch pad by deleting the driver and rebooting, which is weird because I removed the driver completely and never reinstalled it, so the computer shouldn't really know it has a touch pad. But every time I reboot the computer after fixing it, the touch pad goes back to it's old problem and I need to redelete and reboot all over again.
Also, My computer has begun to randomly freeze and not respond to anything, with one such event leading to a blue screen with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR message. The computer has frozen a total of 6 times, at different moments; when I'm typing on microsoft word, at the login screen, even right when it starts up and the msi loading screen is up. 5 of these times have required a forced shut down, the first time the computer shut off on it's own because it ran out of battery power.
Finally, my computer has begun to periodically for long stretches of time stopped detecting wireless networks and is asking to be plugged into an ethernet cable to connect to the internet. This has never happened to me before, and I know I haven't turned off my network sharing center.
I'm not sure why this is all suddenly happening. It's not like I'm banging my laptop against walls. I'm very careful when I move and use my GS70, so these problems are greatly concerning to me because I just got this computer at Christmas.

Data of measure is not seen in webi report when drill is disabled

Hi
i have created a hierarchy in universe on which i drill down in webi reports
the problem is that i have drilled my report till the last level and saved it
the object on which im drilling is set as a section in the report
so i have added a measure in the table under that section
now the measure has different value at different level of drillings
i.e for the last level of the drill i use one measure and after that as i drill up i use different measure
for all other level of drilling
every thing is working fine but the problem is
when i open report in view mode
the measure data is not seen
only when i enable drill the measure data is seen
i have done something like thi
i have used drillfilters in webi reports for checking which level we are in drill mode so as to display the measure value based on drill level

Seems like DrillFilters needs the drillmode to work fine..
why don't save the report with the drill button enabled?

There have been a few threads about this. The feature seems to have gone missing in Mountain Lion even though the Help for Preview still mentions it.
I've filed a bug report on it.

The salesperson for my iphone 4 said on Christmas morning we could go to our online account, select my number, select to change my SIM card, and enter the ICCID number so that I'd be able to use my iphone 4 today. I have not seen any such steps. Help?

The salesperson for my iphone 4 said on Christmas morning we could go to our online account, select my number, select to change my SIM card, and enter the ICCID number so that I'd be able to use my iphone 4 today instead of my old phone (not an iphone). I have not seen any such steps. Help?

I suspect the salesperson that told you that meant your online account with your carrier...have you tried logging into your carrier account online? To do this will require the sim number on your sim card, as well as the phone's IMEI number...you get the sim number off the sim card & the IMEI number, for the phone, is printed on the box.

I have migrated a user's mysite in sharepoint 2013 from one domain to another.The issue is that old activtiy data i.e newsfeed data is not seen

For eg :
I had a user called domain1\user1 whose mysite was created as http://my/personal/user1.
Now this user moves to another domain say domain2\user1.Since mysite is already present no new mysite will be created.
Move-SPUser –Identity "domain1\user1" –NewAlias "domain2\user1"After executing the above query,user is migrated and is able to login to the mysite.But the newsfeed data is not seen.I can see it in the microfeed list but not in the newsfeed page.All other data like documents ,tags,people etc is present
harsh damania

it should move all the profile data alonwith, i would check the ULS logs for any clue.
also make sure following timer jobs ran successfully
User Profile service application name - User Profile to SharePoint Quick Synchronization
User Profile service application name - Feed Cache Repopulation
User Profile service application name - Activity Feed Job

I like and use Top Sites but it has become unsuable with this constant blacking out and reloading the thumbnails. My MBP has not seen a problem at all.
I have been searching every other day for over a month trying to find a fix in Windows Safari with no joy. I want to resolve, not switch browsers. Please offer up a solution that only refreshes the Top Site thumbnails once a day or as some controlable interval. Started about two versions ago, now on ver 5.1.5. Windows 7 64bit.
Safari 5.1.5 for Win64 bit, Windows 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I solved the wifi connection problem, just by switching off completely the router! sounds trivial, but in this case it worked!!!
the funny behaviour of the trackpad/cursor still persists. any suggestion???
thanks again
